Implement Capital punishment for Murder, Rape and paedophilia

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Advocate for the Reintroduction of capital punishment for the heinous crimes like Murder, rape, and paedophilia to uphold justice.
We British citizens have had enough of despicable criminals being allowed to take our tax money, when they have ruined multiple lives.

we want to make sure these people will never be allowed to walk British streets again, and ensure that proper justice is delivered for victims and their families, why should they live in prison for the rest of their lives, funded by British taxpayers, for the rest of their lives?

its cheaper and more morally acceptable to execute them instead.
